The second suspect in a bizarre Boulder kidnapping and assault case involving a disgruntled yoga company founder posing as an FBI agent used his personal phone to set up a fake meeting with the proprietors of a local web-design firm, according to Boulder police.

Sweeney, 34, was previously known only as "Davy" and was being sought in connection to an alleged revenge plot perpetrated by Daniel Shea on Feb. 9.

Police allege Shea, unhappy with employees of the Goozmo web-design firm, disguised himself as an FBI agent, took two men hostage, then physically assaulted and demanded they pay him $50,000.

An arrest warrant affidavit states that $20,000 of the sum was to pay people to watch and kill the men should they refuse to pay and to retain the services of a German hacker to destroy Goozmo's servers. Shea had hired the firm to build him a yoga-themed website and promote it on social media. The website has since been taken down.

At a preliminary hearing earlier this month, police said Shea — who is also from Oregon — was in search of someone "down on his luck" and either "dumb as bricks or dumb as dirt" to help him "pull a prank on some friends."

Police allege that Shea eventually met Sweeney and offered him $500 and a phone for his services. The affidavit indicates that Sweeney, posing as a man named "Davy," set up a phony meeting with Goozmo employees, helped corral Goozmo employees and let Shea into the building.

After Shea's arrest, police served a warrant on his phone and pulled numbers associated with several people. Police were able to track a phone registered to Sweeney via cellphone towers in Oregon and then Colorado and Boulder the day before the alleged incident and then back in Oregon the following day.

One of the alleged victims in the case was unable to positively identify Sweeney via a photo lineup but had a "significant pause" the two times he was shown Sweeney's driver's license photo, according to the affidavit.

An employee of a ride service and an employee of a motel in Boulder identified Sweeney as having been in the city on Feb. 8 and 9.

Sweeney remained in custody at the Lane County Jail on Thursday. He is expected to be extradited to Colorado to face the charges.

The Boulder alt-country band gives its EPs names such as Death and Resurrection, and its songs bear the mark of hard truths and sin. But the punk energy behind the playing, and the sense that it's all in good fun, make it OK to dance to a song like "Death." Full Story
